The Bi-Vocational Pastor’s Financial Survival Guide

Most bi-vocational pastors are leaving significant money on the table and paying taxes they do not owe.

What’s Inside

• Self-employment tax on ministry income — what you owe and how to plan for it
• Retirement savings options for bi-vocational pastors
• Health insurance strategies when your church cannot provide it
• When to hire a CPA who specializes in clergy taxes
